Sonarworks rocks! Reference 4 has changed my workflow / creative experience to the point that I couldn't imagine working without it. 10/10 recommend.

As explained before, the upgrade is money well spent. Serious mixers in the business don't fool around. Are they all in or just weekend amateurs? If you have to get online to ask seeking reviews, that's cool. But they don't know your room. This is a professional software/mic solution

The upgrade to HD was welcomed. Again a very good way for me to get work done at home at night. Or to work in situations where I can't control the room acoustics. Highly recommended

I don't know what they did under the hood, but I noticed even more precision in the falttening of the EQ curve. I like that there are more options.

this update was a good step up with the personalization curves and simulation of the dispositives, but keeps the awful pops and cracks when yOu are listening something and no have open a DAW

I am a sonarworks user since Reference 3. At first I did not want to upgrade from Ref 4 to SoundiD because I was not pleased with the fact that you took out from Ref 4 functions that were in Ref 3 only to give them back via a paid upgrade in sound id. After the reading the news that Ref 4 would not be supported anymore and that M1 native would only be supported by SoundId, I reluctantly made the upgrade. I shouldn’t have done it. Ref 4 was working great. Sound iD is plagged by bugs. Systemwide crashes more than it works, cannot load my profiles half of the time, need the reboot laptop too work properly. The plugin is working ok at best. I still prefer to use Ref 4 in my mix sessions. I never had that much problems with older versions of your software. I wish I had never upgraded. I feel that I wasted my money.

This is a great addition to any music production. I have used this software so far and I appreciate how the sounds are more clearly recognized so that I can detail more effectively each sound. Definitely, a great purchase. I am happy with the performance of how it works and does not slow down my processing speed or create lag.
